Chapter 1192: Chapter 18: Cangdu Military Advisor

Whether it is on the Wuji Continent, the Bahuang Continent, among the Human Clan, Half-Beasts, or Beastmen, there is one thing in common.

That is respect for the strong.

Half-Beasts submit to Beastmen, Humans submit to Half-Beasts and the Beast Clan, all because they are weaker than the other side.

A Six-Colored Magic Soul has never appeared before on the Bahuang Continent.

Let alone someone like Yun Sheng, willing to swear an oath in the name of her Magic Soul.

On one hand, this displayed Yun Sheng’s strength; on the other, it was Yun Sheng showing her sincerity to all the Half-Beasts.

She wanted to win over the Half-Beasts, wholeheartedly using actions and oaths to recruit them.

Even the Half-Beast Warriors who did not understand Magic knew what it meant to swear by one’s Magic Soul. This Human actually used her Magic Soul to swear, and on top of that, she was a terrifyingly strong Mage with a Six-Colored Magic Soul.

So there were such powerful Mages among the Human Clan as well.

No wonder Town Mayor Hu Yixue had been killed on the spot.

The contempt that had been on Xiong Ce’s face earlier was replaced by awe.

Likewise, the other Half-Beasts in the cell were also shaken to the core.

It was only after Yun Sheng had left that the Half-Beasts in the prison finally came back to their senses.

"Brother Xiong, you really agreed to that woman? Are we Half-Beasts really going to obey the Humans from now on?" some Half-Beast Warriors said in great displeasure.

"Do you really think that a mere hundred or so Humans can defeat Cangdu’s garrison?" Xiong Ce would never admit that, in that brief instant just now, he had been swayed by Yun Sheng’s words.

What that Human woman spoke of was Half-Beasts and Humans living in peace, enjoying the same rights as Beastmen.

Living as equals, not as slaves, not taking orders from others, but a thorough, absolute equality.

In his heart, he too had once longed for Humans and Half-Beasts to live in harmony, for Half-Beasts to be able to enter officialdom like Pure-blooded Beastmen, without having to worry about the oppression of Pure-blooded Beastmen.

But whenever he thought of the thirty thousand garrison troops in Cangdu, Xiong Ce knew that was impossible.

"But Brother Xiong, I somehow feel that maybe that woman really can pull it off. I heard she has a terrifying Demon Beast even more powerful than the Town Mayor’s Witch Fox," another Half-Beast Warrior said.

"Besides, I feel that that Human is different from ordinary Humans. She may have imprisoned us, but she hasn’t abused us. If it were the old Town Mayor, anyone from the enemy side caught by him would definitely be tortured to death." Among the Half-Beasts, those who were swayed by Yun Sheng’s words were not just Xiong Ce alone.

Thinking back over these past few days, although the Humans had locked them up, they still received three proper meals a day. Even when their families came to visit, they said the Humans hadn’t made things difficult for them, and life for the Half-Beasts in town remained completely normal.

"That woman, without anyone realizing it, has already made different voices appear in this prison.

She may be strong, but the people of the Sky Fox Tribe Country are also formidable. Don’t forget, there is still one person in Cangdu. As long as he is there, Cangdu is like an iron wall. Don’t even talk about capturing it—just invading it is incredibly difficult," Xiong Ce’s words left the Half-Beasts in the cell all in silence.

"For now, all we can do is wait. We’ll just wait and see for a while longer," in his heart, Xiong Ce vaguely felt that perhaps that Human woman really could do it.

Xiong Ce himself could not say why he had such a thought. It was just an intuition, a feeling that maybe this woman’s appearance would change Cangdu... and might even change the future of the entire Bahuang Continent.

Every move the Half-Beasts made in the cell was reported back to Yun Sheng.

After Doctor Zhao came out of the prison, worry was written all over his face.

His head was filled with the thought that Lord Yun had just bragged wildly in front of the Half-Beasts, saying she would take Cangdu.

These words absolutely must not reach the village chief’s ears, or else the village chief might be scared to death on the spot.

Right now they hadn’t even solved the problem of defending Crescent Spring Town. One wave had yet to settle and another had already risen—Lord Yun was being far too reckless.

But Doctor Zhao didn’t dare say any of this to Yun Sheng’s face; still, all his worries were written clearly on his features.

"Doctor Zhao, you have a lot of questions you’d like to ask me, don’t you?" Yun Sheng looked at Doctor Zhao’s little old-man expression and couldn’t help finding it amusing.

"Lord Yun, was everything you did just now deliberately acted out for those Half-Beasts?" Doctor Zhao recalled the scene in the prison and still couldn’t quite make sense of it.

"Yes. I need to win over those Half-Beasts. As far as I know, Humans and Half-Beasts together make up about ninety percent of the population on the Bahuang Continent. In the remaining ten percent, if you divide it into Pure-blooded Eight Desolate Beast Clan and other Pure-blooded Beast Clan, they account for one part and nine parts respectively. Only by uniting the Half-Beasts can the Human Clan truly turn things around." Yun Sheng had also considered that she would at most stay in Moon-shaped Spring Town for one month.

So during that time, she had to find a way to eliminate the conflicts between Humans and Half-Beasts.

After all, most Half-Beasts still carried Human blood in them; getting them to accept Humans would be relatively much easier.

"Lord Yun, your intention is not wrong, but you shouldn’t have made that promise to capture Cangdu. That’s simply an impossible task." Doctor Zhao was filled with regret.

"Doctor Zhao, not only will I capture Cangdu, I’ll take it within a month." Yun Sheng merely smiled faintly; she had long anticipated the reaction of Doctor Zhao and the other Humans.

"Within a month? Reckless! Lord Yun, even if you punish this old man for speaking out, I must still advise you not to act rashly. Cangdu is one of the main cities of the Sky Fox Tribe. And there is one very frightening man in Cangdu. As long as he is there, Cangdu will not fall." Doctor Zhao rambled on, thinking Yun Sheng had only just arrived near Cangdu and was unfamiliar with everything here.

"One man? Is Cangdu’s City Governor some incredibly powerful Purebred Heavenly Fox? If it’s a Heavenly Fox, all the better—I happen to be looking for people from the Sky Fox Tribe," Yun Sheng’s interest was immediately piqued.

"You’re mistaken, Lord Yun. Cangdu’s City Governor is indeed a Purebred Heavenly Fox. But the formidable figure I speak of is not the City Governor, but a strategist under him. He is the most formidable person in all of Cangdu."

"So there is such a figure in Cangdu. I thought the Sky Fox Tribe had no impressive Pureblood Sky Fox at all," Yun Sheng said, a hint of surprise showing on her face.

The Sky Fox Tribe was reputed to be the weakest branch of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan; Yun Sheng had not expected that Cangdu would harbor such a person.

"Lord Yun, to be precise, that man is not a Pureblood Sky Fox. He is merely a Half-Beast of the Black Goose Clan. But he is extremely formidable and is known as the Cangdu Military Advisor. He is our greatest obstacle to capturing Cangdu." Doctor Zhao simply told Yun Sheng everything he knew about the situation in Cangdu, leaving nothing out.
